August 7, 201410 yr Moderator it's getting close now any change's/ addition's to the list What about: Lassie Oldtimer FZRal Your the one on a freshly messed with 2stroke. True 2stroke owners will haved lived with the pending death for so long their immune. 'Whatever' being the normal response. They generally ride covering the clutch too though lol. When did things change though? I cant remember riding around as a youth listening to the engine, worrying about the crank seals or debating what was the best oil/plug/timing/airfilter etc. The bikes got no maintenance until they broke.

August 7, 201410 yr Moderator Very true Tommy! We used to go to Southend (40 miles each way) in the evenings with enough money for a bag of chips. No plan B, didn't actually think we needed one. I broke down once but often used to have to share fuel between bikes when one of us ran out of petrol. All that on a 90cc single to start and then the 250 twin.
August 7, 201410 yr yep & I bet none of us were with the AA or other back then [/ The thing was tommy back then most bikes were a simple fix unlike the computerised things today, the guys who still ride the classic and older bikes at least have a chance of getting it running even the AA man now days just calls up recovery,when my f4 broke down the AA guy had to ask me where the battery was!!!!!! All being well I should be at squires god and the dvla willing as I am waiting for paperwork for a change of reg.
August 7, 201410 yr Author Moderator Indian Curry house! OK so last time me n blackhat were there we found an 'indian' I will be going there on Saturday night who wants to join us, I'm thinking of booking some tables around 8pm is that alright? BTW I'm going on the TTR this time, not 2 strokin
August 7, 201410 yr Airhead I'm in if I make it, the FJ should be ready by then and it will need a good run to settle everything down, 400 miles should just about do it, so book me a place if you would, staying at a hotel nearby tho so if you want I will PM you my mobile number?
